Minetest blueprints mod





A Minetest mod that allows items to be copied.

## What is/isn't it?

Blueprints is a way to copy complex node settings with two clicks. One blueprint

can only store one node, if you want to bulk save/load/copy/move nodes, see

[WorldEdit](https://github.com/Uberi/Minetest-WorldEdit).

## Items

Blueprints introduces two types of items: Blank blueprints, and... well...

non-blank blueprints.

Blank blueprint crafting:

![1 paper surrounded by 8 basic_materials plastic strips](crafting.png)

Requires:

 - 8 `basic_materials` plastic strips

 - 1 paper sheet

To erase data off a blueprint, provided it isn't already blank, put it in the

crafting grid.

## Usage instructions

Blueprints are relatively intuitive to use. To take a blueprint of something,

simply left-click it while holding a blank blueprint. To apply the blueprint

to other nodes, you can left-click the node. **Do not apply blueprints to chests

or other nodes with items in, you will lose your items.** To place a new node

down with the blueprint applied, just right-click while holding the blueprint.

Note that with pipeworks and mesecons placing a node with a blueprint will not

link up wires/pipes to the node.

## What can/can't be blueprinted?

By default, item metadata (such as node settings) is saved, however, of course,

node inventories aren't. This can be overridden on a per-item basis (for more

information, see the [API] page). Unless overridden by mods, nodes not in the

creative inventory cannot be blueprinted.

Because of the way pipeworks teleportation tubes work, they cannot be

blueprinted.

## Dependencies

Blueprints has no mandatory dependencies, however blueprints will be uncraftable

without `basic_materials` and `default`.

The following dependencies are so blueprint rules can be added onto items for

better compatibility:

 - `mesecons`

   - `mesecons_fpga`

   - `mesecons_microcontroller`

   - `mesecons_luacontroller`

 - `pipeworks`
